Our Schoolhouse Naturals line was introduced in 2008, and has proven to be a real winner. Crafted from locally, sustainably harvested hardwood maple. The Schoolhouse Naturals are designed with special consideration given to children 3 and under. Sanded smooth as silk, and all graphics are applied with our lasers. No paints or finish coatings are ever applied to the Schoolhouse Naturals line of toys! Some selected products are also available with a FDA approved food grade plant based oil finish.
